{"product_id":"2940170729883","title":"Behold the Mighty Dinosaur","description":"Dinosaurs-the word means “fearfully great reptile”-have  been a source of fascination ever since their discovery in  England early in the nineteenth century. Aside from birds,  all dinosaurs have been extinct for 65 million years, yet, before  then, they dominated Earth's terrestrial habitats for about 160  million years, far longer than primates, or humans, have  been around.\u003cbr\u003e  Dinosaurs present the ultimate puzzle in forensic science, but  we have learned a great deal about them, especially in the last  fifty years. Our view of dinosaurs has changed radically, and  the evolution and biology of dinosaurs has become a popular  topic in college curriculums. This lecture series will explain  how this changing view of dinosaurs developed, the evolutionary  and ecological relationships among dinosaurs, what it  might have been like to be present in the Mesozoic Era during  the time of the dinosaurs, and the question of what ultimately  brought about the total extinction of all of the non-bird  dinosaurs and the end of the Cretaceous Period. Although  extinct, dinosaurs have never been more a focus of science than  they are today.","brand":"Recorded Books, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47102498111728,"sku":"2940170729883","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170729883_p0.jpg?v=1763715546","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170729883","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
